Verdict

The Blackview A52 (3GB + 32GB model) is a budget-friendly 4G smartphone running Android 12 (Go edition) with Doke OS 3.0, powered by a 1.6 GHz octa-core Unisoc SC9863A1 processor. Its key specs include a 6.52-inch HD+ IPS display with a 720 x 1600 pixel resolution, a large 5180mAh battery, a 13MP main rear camera, and a 5MP front camera. A major pro is its price point, offering essential features like dual-SIM support, a 3.5mm headphone jack, fingerprint and face unlock, and expandable memory (up to 1TB via microSD) for basic daily use. However, cons include limited onboard RAM and storage (only 3GB physical RAM and 32GB internal storage), a relatively slow processor that can feel sluggish with demanding tasks, slow Wi-Fi performance, a lack of NFC for contactless payments, and a microUSB port instead of the more modern USB-C.
